AN OBSERVATIONAL documentary set in Musselburgh in 2014 makes its Honest Toun premiere this Saturday.
To See Ourselves is a “deeply personal account of the referendum” as seen through the eyes of Musselburgh filmmaker Jane McAllister.
It will be shown at Northesk Parish Church at 2pm.
Filmed during the summer of 2014, Jane, who was pregnant with her daughter at the time, follows the “fervent” campaigning of her father, then Musselburgh SNP councillor and Yes campaigner Fraser McAllister, and “reveals the heart behind the politics during this historic crossroad for Scotland”.
After a successful theatrical release in 2023, production company New Licht Films is distributing the documentary throughout Scotland, launching first in Tranent on Robert Burns Day.
The film premiered at the Glasgow Film Theatre in Glasgow in September last year and afterwards went on to screen in cinemas throughout Scotland.
The 2024 regional tour will be screened in a mix of cinemas, theatres and community halls, with the aim this year to reach every region in Scotland.
Each screening will be followed by panel conversation with the director and lead protagonists.
The film has also been shown in New York and is booked for London.
